Six months after the
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) launched a crackdown on
illegal dumping on state parks and recreational lands, the initiative
has yielded enforcement actions against 20 people, nearly $30,000 in
court-ordered fines and more than $450,000 in pending fines,
Commissioner Bob Martin announced Friday, Sept. 26.
Recent charges in DEP’s “Don’t Waste Our Open Space” crackdown
include charges for the first illegal dumping event caught on hidden
camera, at the Duck Island section of D&R Canal State Park, and for
large illegal dumping events at Liberty State Park and Wharton State
Forest, where Commissioner Martin updated the progress of the program
during a park cleanup.
Kimberly Young, 54, of Egg Harbor City, was charged with illegal
dumping after disposing large amounts of household debris at Wharton
State Forest in Hammonton. She faces up to $25,000 in fines. The case
was investigated by Detective Brian Calloway and Detective Kasony.
